I can’t believe how fast this year went by! Our family has had so many big things happen for us in 2013.
Weston:
At the beginning of the year, Weston finished up interviewing for residency programs, and in March we found out that we will be heading to Rochester, NY this coming summer for his residency in radiology! Then, in May, he graduated from medical school (woo hoo!). He is now halfway done with the hardest year of his training, and we are looking forward to the end of intern year 🙂
Nicole:
I have been keeping myself plenty busy with the kiddos. We found out I was pregnant at the end of 2012 and then found out it was a girl in February! Things have been pretty crazy with Weston gone all the time, but we are surviving. I have started doing photography more regularly now that I feel like I have the hang of this 3 kid thing. I am looking forward to expanding my business and booking more photo shoots when we move to Rochester!
Jackson:
He was very sad when two of his best friends moved away this past summer. He had so much fun doing preschool with them and they were such good little playmates. Luckily, we moved into a new house right down the street from another great friend! Jackson is in another preschool group this year, and he loves it so much and can’t wait to go to “real preschool” next year. We tried and failed playing soccer in the spring, because he was “too shy,” but now he is in t-ball and loves it so much!
Carter:
Mr. Carter has changed so much this year. He started walking in February and has been completely accident prone ever since! He broke is arm in May which was not too fun for any of us because it kept him out of the pool for most of the summer. His verbal skills have taken off (even though most people can’t understand a word he says) and he loves to chat me up all day long. He loves playing with Jackson so much and gets really sad whenever Jackson leaves for school.
Hayley:
Miss Hayley Mae joined our family in July, 5 weeks before her due date. She came into this world in dramatic fashion, and her flair for the dramatic hasn’t stopped. She is a really good baby and definitely a mama’s girl. She cries whenever I put her down until I tell her to “stop the drama” then she quiets down and smiles at me. Her brothers absolutely adore her. Jackson loves to talk and play with her all the time, and she eats up all the attention. I sure love having another girl in the family!
We are so excited for all of the new things to come for us in 2014! I hope you all have a very merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year!
